09/11/2019 Tweet - "Tourism and fishing economies on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts depend on clean water and healthy beaches. Offshore drilling threatens that. It's time to invest in renewable energy technologies and build sustainable economies. #ProtectOurCoast"
09/11/2019 Tweet - "This administration puts America's coastal communities at risk of oil spills and environmental degradation by promoting new offshore drilling. I'm proud to support @RepCunningham's bill to permanently end offshore drilling by our coasts. #ProtectOurCoast"
07/16/2019 Tweet - "The Rural Energy Savings Program lowers energy costs for consumers, reduces electricity consumption to help the environment, and creates jobs in rural communities. Tune in live as I join @eesionline & @ncbaclusa to discuss how we're continuing this work. http://www.eesi.org/livecast "
06/26/2019 Tweet - "All Americans deserve to live in healthy environments, free from pollution and toxic waste. But people of color and low-income Americans are disproportionately affected by pollution every day. Today's #EJConvening is fighting for #EnviroJusticeNow."
06/05/2019 Tweet - "We only have one Earth and it must be protected so that it will still be here for future generations. That's why the House voted to keep the U.S. in the #ParisClimateAgreement. Climate change is real and we must hold each other accountable. #WorldEnvironmentDay"
06/05/2019 Tweet - "In South Carolina, we know the effects of #ClimateCrisis on our oceans. We're seeing warmer ocean temperatures, rising sea levels, and an abhorrent amount of trash being dumped in their waters. During #CapitolHillOceanWeek, @HouseDemocrats are acting to #ProtectOurOceans."
06/01/2019 Tweet - "Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement 2 years ago was completely dismissive of the threat of climate change. The world is embarking on a new journey with clean energy. We can either lead or be left behind. That's why I supported #ClimateActionNow Act."
05/22/2019 Tweet - "One of the best ways to tackle climate change is through public and private investment in renewable energy. I'm proud to see my home state of South Carolina doing just that."
05/02/2019 Tweet - "Climate change is real and its evidence is all around us. The Paris Agreement was an important first step toward holding countries accountable and we cannot allow this president to remove us from it. #ClimateActionNow #HR9"
04/22/2019 Tweet - "As we celebrate #EarthDay today, we must also acknowledge the destruction being caused by climate change. We must acknowledge that climate change is real. That it is caused by mankind. And that it can be reversed if we act now. We cannot afford to wait."
03/27/2019 Tweet - "Climate change is a fact, not a myth. By pulling us out of the Paris Climate Agreement, this administration is denying accountability in curbing emissions and cutting pollution. We must have #ClimateActionNow so future generations aren't left with the consequences."
02/06/2019 Tweet - ".@NRDems are holding the House's first climate change hearing in eight years this morning. The time to #ActOnClimate is now. We cannot afford to wait any longer. Watch live: http://bit.ly/2UD53Hp "
02/05/2019 Tweet - "The president cannot continue to turn a blind eye to climate change. We must work together to create new infrastructure and jobs in clean energy so that we can begin to reverse the damage already done before it is too late."
08/31/2018 Tweet - "More good news for SC! @US_EDA approved nearly $2M to extend water service from the Lake Marion Regional Water System to Camp Hall Park in Berkeley County to support the new @VolvoCarUSA plant and #SC citizens."
06/07/2018 Tweet - "Last night the House passed the WRDA bill increasing authorization for the Lake Marion Regional Water System by almost $30 million. This is a big deal and extends access to potable water in Calhoun, Orangeburg, Dorchester, and Berkeley Counties."
